Chapter 13: Zayn and Jenna

Alira’s POV

I got out of the bathroom while running a towel through my wet hair. I had an hour long shower. I don’t know why but every time I get out of a pool, I have to take a long shower. It’s as if I need to take off all the chlorine and do it 50 times over. I got changed into something comfy, folded-hem high waisted shorts from Cotton On and a singlet that said ‘sleep is for the weak’ from Factorie. I re-applied some of the make up that didn’t come off. I didn’t do foundation, to be honest I hate foundation. Everything else is fine, but foundation’s too much. I took one more look at myself and finally decided that i look decent and I walked down the stairs to where everyone was. 

When I walked past Zayn’s room, I could hear yelling. It sounded like Jenna was in there with him. I can recognise her yells from a thousand miles away. But Jenna yelling is a rare thing, she’s usually a happy little one. And when she’s yelling, you’ll really know you wound her up too much. I know it was a bit stupid but it was too intriguing to not listen. I pressed my ear against the door and eavesdropped.

‘What did I do, Zayn!? I did absolutely nothing!’ she was yelling at him. Humph, I swear to god I thought they were going to end up together. What the hell is going on?

‘That’s not what I’m talking about! I’m just telling you that you’re spending the weekend with us! This is our bonding time, we don’t want anyone else joining us.’ he yelled back. Okay, now I am absolutely confused.

‘So, I’m not allowed to meet new people whenever I’m with you boys!? That’s so stupid, Zayn. I’m freaking nineteen! I can do whatever I want. You’re not my mother. What’s wrong with you!’ 

‘Nothing’s wrong with me. And I didn’t say you’re not allowed to meet new people! i just said that this is our weekend and I don’t want anyone spoiling it for you’

‘You already did, Zayn!’ and i heard something hit the wall.

‘Don’t throw that! Look, Jenna, you’re being so stupid about this. You know this is our weekend.’ 

‘Stupid!? You’re calling me stupid!? I didn’t do jackshit at the beach and I come back to find you angry at me!? The other boys didn’t say shit about Jake. Why are you so fucking jealous!’ and something else hit the wall. Crap, three swear words in the same breath. Now, you really know shit’s going down. Jenna rarely swears. She does it out of excitement and anger. And she’s thrown something, twice. What the hell has Zayn gotten himself into?

‘Y’know, it’s rude to eavesdrop’ Louis’ were right next to my ear, which made me jump. I held my chest because my heart started to race.

‘Shhh!’ I said once my heartbeat slowed down.

‘What’s going on?’ he whispered. I pointed to the door and put my ear against it again. I saw that Louis did the exact same thing and we eavesdropped on their argument.

‘I’m not jealous! I swear to god, i’m just looking out for you and i just want this to be the happiest weekend you’ve ever experienced.’ he yelled back.

‘Looking out for me? Bullshit. Happiest weekend? It was! You ruined it for me, Zayn. Meeting Jack made me so fucking happy. But you go off at me for meeting someone new. You know what? Fuck you, Zayn. I hate you!’ she screamed so loud. I heard her stomping towards the door. 

‘No, Jenna. Don’t. I’m sorry!’ Zayn yelled after her.

‘Save it, Zayn. I’m going downstairs.’
